Had 15 turnout. They had a good time. They had five different station to experience the different areas of firefighting and EMS. The fire department members ordered $20,000.00 in fire gear through a fundraiser they had. This is enough to equip 10 firepersons. They are hoping to raise enough for five more. Chief asked the board for permission to put 1405 on the auction block now, rather than later, as the possibility of selling it at the beginning of summer would be greater.
